[FAO x UNSD Brown Bag webinar] A Shiny Application to Track the Progress on Food and Agriculture-related SDG Indicators

FAO has recently launched the FAO SDG Progress Assessment App: a web-based tool designed to automatize the assessment of progress made at the national, regional, and global level towards the achievement of the SDGs. The developed tool allows measuring the current status and trend of SDG Indicators and Targets based on the FAO progress assessment methodology.
